    How Long Does a Motorcycle Battery Usually Last?

    A properly charged and maintained battery should last many years. My first battery lasted 5 years and the second for 2 months. Glen from Flying Squirrels diagnosed the 'quick die' problem right away. The initial charge was messed up. After the acid is added you're supposed to wait at least...

    $25,000 reward to catch these guys.

    MotoGP Classics - 2000 British GP: Rossi's first 500c win

    Rossi starts badly and has to claw through the pack to beat Kenny Roberts Jr. Starts with a wet track; as the track dries the riders cool their rain tires by riding through the wet parts. Lots of 'wet line' vs. 'dry line' action. 55 mins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWiM2EAux0o

    Define success

    ^ well sure, people try. Most people think getting stupid rich will make them crazy happy. The typical lottery winner experience is a good example of how that's not true. Or becoming Eastern Regional Vice President in charge of blahblah is what they really want.... So success and happiness...
